A Proton Recoil Telescope for neutron spectroscopy

Franco Bocci

Abstract


A compact and versatile Proton Recoil Telescope (PRT) detector has been realized to measure neutron energy spectra in the range from few to about 170 MeV. The PRT is a position sensitive detector made by: an active multilayer segmented plastic scintillator as neutron to proton converter, two silicon strip detectors for proton energy and position measurement and a final thick CsI(Tl) scintillator to measure the residual proton energy. The detector has been tested with the 13C(d,n) reaction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud of INFN using a 40 MeV deuteron beam.
